I recently had to replace the tyres on my Hybrid .I went to the LBS and got some Michelin Citys in 700x35C. They were about $40ea and come with a reflective strip along the sidewall, much like the original Merida Speed40 tyres the bike came with. They also had less knobbly tread and more of a smooth road tyre, but with deep water grooves which was more suitable for the riding I was doing.

They have great grip in the dry, and good braking grip in the wet, but when the road is damp/greasy, just be careful how hard you corner (goes without saying). Durability also seems good.

I noticed a pretty good gain in average speed to with the reduced rolling resistance.
